“Does #money buy #happiness?
The deeper insight in #Killingsworth's original research, the one almost nobody talks about, is the part that should sit with you longer than the income numbers. The #TrackYourHappiness app had been telling him for years that the single biggest predictor of in-the-moment well-being is not money at all. It is whether your #mind is on the thing you are doing.
His most cited paper, written with Daniel Gilbert at Harvard, is titled A #WanderingMind Is an Unhappy Mind. The data from the app showed that people are mentally absent from what they are doing 47 percent of the time, and that #mentalabsence is one of the strongest predictors of #unhappiness in the entire dataset. More predictive than income. More predictive than the activity itself. More predictive than almost any demographic variable you could measure.”

Had another altercation with a #cager while riding my #bicycle on #Ainsworth St. #pdx
I heard his loud pipes roaring up behind me but I was passing a parked car so I took the whole lane.
His tires barked as he hit his brakes within feet of my back tire. I held my ground and he honked.
Mind you, this was directly across from #Alberta park, where people are pushing strollers and walking dogs.
I slowly yielded and yelled at him to get on #Killingsworth.
